A 40-year-old man, who attacked two sisters in their house near Anjan Theatre on Magadi Road, died in a city hospital early on Friday, police said, adding that he had consumed poison.
The sisters were discharged late on Thursday, a few hours after the attack.

The deceased BN Udayshankar on Thursday had allegedly inflicted injuries to the throats of the sisters and threw a toilet cleaning solution on them. He later returned to his house in the same building, and consumed Metacid, an insecticide.

A crowd gathered on hearing the sisters’ scream roughed up the man without knowing he had consumed poison. He was later handed over to the police, who shifted him to Victoria Hospital. He died around 2.20 am on Friday.

Doctors reportedly confirmed to the police that Udayshankar had consumed poison. His son, Bhuvan Kumar, 10, handed over the bottle of Metacid to investigators.

The deceased man’s brother BN Jayadevappa said Udayshankar had been mentally unstable ever since his wife’s suicide four years ago. The couple had been staying in Parappana Agrahara with their son.

“After her death, I asked him to stay in my house. Since then, he and his son were staying with me. I got a call from a relative saying that my brother had picked up a fight with the daughters of Nirmala, tenants in my house. He asked me not to return home as the crowd had beaten up my wife, mother and four-year-old son,” Jayadevappa, an health inspector of the BBMP, said.
He added that the crowd damaged the window panes and furniture in his house.

Udayshankar’s body was handed over to his family after post-mortem. Police are waiting for medical reports to confirm if the man Shankar had consumed poison.
